This meeting is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning Financial Project ID Number 213345-7, otherwise known as the I-295 Express Lanes project from I-95 to the Buckman Bridge in Duval County, Florida. Express lanes are an innovative concept to manage traffic congestion and provide choices for motorists. These additional lanes will provide more capacity in areas where traffic congestion is a major problem. At this time, the Department is proposing the construction of express lanes on I-295 from I-95 to the Buckman Bridge. The feasibility of noise barriers is also being considered in the project area. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status.
